I'll assume that your post is based on your post-secondary school education in the fields of Chemistry and/or Physics. Failing that, I dismiss you as just another rambling idiot. Here are my thoughts:
Radioactive isotopes. Do you own a smoke detector? Not everything that's radioactive makes your hair fall out and your skin peel off. Low-intensity sources have many uses for the hobbyist. These folks aren't selling plutonium, fergodssake.
Burning lasers. No threat here. Lasers are not, and possibly will never be, useful weapons for individuals. Any laser capable of doing harm to a person can also cause blindness from stray reflected radiation. People buying these things might just possibly be interested in... welding. Do you get scared when your neighbor buys an arc welder??
What is anyone going to do with uranium? Enrich it to U-235? Hell, even Iran can't do that (yet). Want to machine it? Good luck. It's a very tough metal. I don't see someone buying small quantities of uranium as much of a threat to our way of life.
Heavy water? Where's the problem? You can DRINK the stuff. It's not radioactive, nor can it be used for evil purposes. Perhaps you're thinking of the Nazis' heavy water experiments, please reread your history.
Black powder is MUCH more dangerous than any of the aformentioned items, but you seem to think that's fine as a commerce item. Black powder is often used to propel lead projectiles and to blow shit up. Where's your logic, man???
Please get yourself informed before you post on a public forum and scare people with your nonsense.
